@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

Quote from: NightWolve on 09/26/2016, 01:16 PMSarumaru's had some kind of marketing background if I'm not mistaken ? Between his established store, brand, contacts, and promotional travels to conventions, etc. you can understand how this got off the ground and made it to this point.
Not just Sarumaru... Jesse Hernandez is the marketing and promotional magician behind-the-scenes, and the campaign had the backing and directorial expertise of Pyre Productions. Saru's connected af and that did indeed help a ton.

Congrats on reaching the goal. I'm spreading the word as much as I can. There is a Spanish FB group I frequent and just told them about it. Either secure your copy or why not, make the Dreamcast version happen.

The weekdays are easy for me to not eat at work and be careful when I get home, but the weekends are rough to say the least - gluttonous fun -but rough on the diet.

This is my first Kickstarter as well, so hope this is worth it.

I started a thread for the kickstarter on sega-16. A lot of people there support kickstarters and homebrew, so hopefully they can help reach some of the stretch goals for Sega ports.

Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

He has a kind of charm about him... like Lou Ferrigno... a simple, but sincere, growth-hormone-ingesting kind of charm.

I'm serious.
Except for love he showed the Retro VGS/Chameleon.

That's not necessarily a bad thing though... a lot of people were hoping that that would actually happen, and CollectorVision was working on an exclusive game for it to support it and raise interest. Sadly, the game in question was... very subpar, to put it mildly... and didn't help its perception at all. Anthony and I tried to steer them in the right direction but I think it fell on deaf ears in the end.

I dunno, Gamester81 held on even after the incontrovertible proof ended up on AtariAge.

Not really trying to talk smack about the guy, he does come across like a genuinely nice guy in his videos, and I don't think he deliberately tried to fool people, but did he even ever really apologize for how long he kept up the love? I didn't see anything on his website indicating that.

Don't be that guy: "ctophil"...

See, when enough "ctophiles" are in a forum saying the same thing, there are those that would foolishly think it's some sort of "representative poll" of thousands of other people... I've seen many a good people fall into this trap...

Sometimes, if it's just a dozen people in a thread saying the same thing, you probably should ONLY just count those 12 people instead of thinking their voices represent thousands of other people that didn't have a damn thing to do with the thread or the idea conveyed therein, etc. Don't set the stage up for another knucklehead like Mike Kennedy to come along with his Atari Jaguar shells hoping to cash in...

P. S. NEVAH FORGET!!!

HATERS:

Anyway, about gamester81: I never said he was intelligent, but he seems sincere. I think gamester81 was betrayed by Mike Kennedy... So, we can judge gamester81 for his intelligence (or lack thereof), but I do not believe gamester81 would knowingly deceive people.

Again, I like the Lou Ferrigno-element of gamester81: simple, hairy, dedicated

For the record, I am irked by 99% of YouTube video game personalities, including gamester81.

Yeah, how did Yuki fly on over to "Lucretia - Demon Princess" ??? Is there a working storyline for how this happens or just a case of throwing sprites around, adding more witch sprites to Lucretia ?? ;)

Yeah, he apologized on Youtube and explained his relationship with Mike Kennedy, how he was approached, etc. Clear apology in the description, "I'm very sorry to the Atari Age community" and stating RetroVGS was beyond defending at that point. Guilty of being purty gullible/ignorant/naive (says so himself, same 3 words), buying into "the scheme dream of retroland," sure, but a deliberate scammer/con-man, no/nah.

Of course there's always a reluctance given pride to admit how badly you got egg on your face till the very end, many are guilty of this, but yeah... On the flipside, he kind of has it both ways in the video, he's angry with Pat the NES Punk who called it like it is, tries to give weasel counter-points/thoughts in his defense (what it is) - it's iffy...
We here at PCEFX BTW grew to love Mike Kennedy and his "winning team..." No other man has ever generated so much lulz at his expense and we thank him for the experience! I can't think or know of a more entertaining thread in the history of this forum than the RetroVGS one! :lol:

That Lucretia stage was a placeholder. The pics that Rover posted last are what the same stage looks like now, although some elements from that Lucretia stage have been used with different palettes. As you can see in the first pic, it's inspired by Cotton.

This is indeed the "fake parallax" you speak of. :D Six layers of scrolling on the first part... made possible by using all four scroll() zones plus dynamic tiles and sprite overlays. Not too shabby for a system with only one background layer, eh? :)

The second part of the stage isn't 100% done yet... it will have gravestones similar to the ones in stage 1 of Lucretia. The second part is only three layers but due to sprite overlays, it'll look like typical multilayer parallax. :)

Yeah, right after they ported fuckin' Chester Cheeto.

lol, dork.



Though, the effect isn't "fake parallax", it's "fake layering".   As line scrolling at different rates is what parallax really is.

Everyone combines layers + parallax into one concept when that's not 100% accurate.

Achieving layering on PCE is effort.  Parallax itself is not.  It's balls easy.


anyway, good to see people are paying attention to PCE finally instead of the goddamn Sega, and Watermelon's stupid nonsense.

Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Not only did we smash the stretch goal for the DC conversion, but someone actually took the top tier reward! I never expected that to actually go... but someone's gonna get a very awesome custom PC Engine. :)

The DC version is based on the PC version but as far as I know, it will have at least one exclusive feature in it.

PC-FX homebrew is still in its infancy so it'll be awhile before such an option is viable. It's definitely something we've talked about before though.

DC STRETCH GOAL MET!

So in the last post I mentioned that we were well passed our funding goal and now we've even passed the DC stretch goal! THANKS EVERYONE! So I also re-iterated that the DC version would be coming later next year (also stated in the stretch goals section). However, I worded it in such a way that it has confused people who pledged for the PCE/Turbo and PC CD versions. These versions are still projected to be released by the end of March. and the DC version should be available right around Christmas time! Sorry for any confusion to those folks backing the original version of the game and thanks for your continued support! Remember to share! :)

- Saru

OldRover

Considering all the trolling over the DC conversion, the only reason I'm sticking it out is because of the actual fans who want the conversion made. It will be my first, last, and only DC project. If we didn't have so many people wanting a DC version, I'd vote to scrap it right now.
